from Goranson - they will have 5 pound boxes for sale at the farmstand this coming week. Seriously, you'll be glad in February. |

Bath Farmers Market July 24 2021 |
|
Good Morning,
Well the earth is pleased with al this rain, and thus so are we. Fine fresh vegetables and fruits are leaving our vendor tables in record numbers. A growing group of early birds and empty tables at 11 are becoming commonplace! It's all good tho, and please remember that many vendors, have farm stands and thus the possibility of a pleasant ride in the countryside - just get in the car with the kids or the dog or whoever and wander the roads til you get to, say, Goransons, or Tarbox, or Chase Farm. Think of it as a meditation. An inexpensive and pleasurable delight from distant childhood. Treats on the way home for good behaviour!
There is so much going on in Bath in the summer, especially Music, Music, Music. Historic Bath Walking tours. The Maine Maritime Museum, and so much more. Check out www.visitbath.com for ideas and info.
We are sorry to confirm that Appleton Creamery has left the market; they have closed. Our thanks to Caitlin and Brad and their extended family of goats, apprentices and fellow cheesemakers (and of course, the peacocks). From Caitlin we learned much about goat cheese making and enjoyment. We will miss her creativity, compassion and humor. Check out the GoFund Me page set up to support the family as they move on. Fuzzy Udder will be selling the last few of the Appleton cheeses this week.
Take care and enjoy a full moon feast!

Don't spend your market stash on a parking ticket-the Bath PD will find you if you park in the spaces by the market sidewalk left free for vendors. We thank you |
From our vendors -Sales, Seasonal, Specials
Halibut and fresh crab are hot tickets at Pemaquid Lobster & Seafood: if you get there very early, maybe some swordfish. Hard to predict which fish are moving fast and slow so check the website & come ready to be flexible. It's all good, Tracy and Tom are tres finicky about their product.
Bravely battling the resident Groundhog, Angela at Jyang_Li uses what she can save from her garden to create her ever so lovely spring rolls each week. She has a nice supply of both vegan and pork dumplings as well . Enjoy an easy summer supper while you watch the bees work busily among the flowers you planted for them.
Stop at Hawkes if you feel the urge to expand your gardens: their annuals and perennials range from brilliant to gentle, vibrant to soft. Some lovely fresh eggplants and and wee tomatoes too.

Exquisite Oyster mushrooms, sopranos of the opera "Funghi"
at Oyster Creek Mushroom Co.

Better order your seasonal pies ahead from Beryl, her :fresh seasonal fruit and pastry are apparently addictive. The walnut and cinnamon laden rugelach make a nice summer breakfast, perfect with a cup of Big Barn Coffee, ground to your preference by Dan.
Did you know: that some of the cakes and cookies at Alchimia are gluten and/or dairy free. Monica's happy to help you select one; remember that Chase Farm offers muffins and some molasses cookies that are gf as well.
The chanterelles continue to glow at Oyster Creek - dedicate yourself to a special summer pasta. Also enticing right now are those fine little Oysters and the Lions Mane, meaty and fab in soup or, again, pasta. Dry all your stems for broth.

St. Davids at Hahns End, ready to spread and savor |
Blueberry Season arrived last week, led by Goranson Farm. They do have lots more at their farmstand along the river in Dresden. Look for their weekly specials on not quite perfect veg - last week's runner up heirloom tomatoes were very fine. Check out the first garlic!
Tammy at Kelley Brothers had a run on beef short ribs last week - they are very meaty and not too fat. Steaks and burgers are still in season, and the jerky is available in hot and regular.
Want some extra support in the battle against summer allergies, rases, covid, insects? Support your immune system with a jar of Boneset Tincture from Mana Medicinals. Anna is happy to help you figure out the best way to use it.

Pick up a sample kvass blend for salads & more at Gracies Garden - this one melded garlic scapes, jalapeno, leeks.
Tarbox is exploding with fennel, curly and plain escaroles, yellow cauliflower, majestic kales. Discuss your meal(s) plans with Kyle for his thoughts about selecting the right bottles from his Sasanoa Brewing to accompany them.
Walnut bread was hot last week at Borealis - it looked wonderful, Remember they have both plain & rosemary dinner rolls as well as sandwich subs. Sandwiches with heft!
Hahn's End had some special St. Davids moving fast; Try their Ragged Island grated on to a pizza or pasta. Sweet nights in italy! good to nibble too.

Music
Many thanks to Red Beans and Rice last week - they'll be back in August. Overextended technology issues are almost resolved & hope to have the calendar by next week

Remember
Well behaved, quiet dogs on leashes: Please. Reactive barkers and overly assertive pups make many folks uncomfortable and may scare kids.
.
And please leave the parking spaces by the sidewalk for vendors to set up in.
